storing notes, ideas, recipes.......

Bits of important paper, cut outs of recipes your planning to try, an old butty box being used as a sewing box store........ we house all our bits and pieces in the most random ways, never sure where they are when we need them! Well maybe its time to get a bit of organisation into your life with a spring clean and a tidy system of storing?

Keep all those recipes together, build up a useful and exciting collection of family recipes that can never be lost, cut outs of magazines that you simply cannot part with.... collect and give as a lovely gift for a child's first home or departure for university.

What about a stunning guest book? Brilliant idea if you have a home or cottage that you rent out or allow friends to use. Feed back is always productive! Alternatively, what about having one in the guest room of your home, it will allow friends over the years to let you know about brilliant times spent with you and over the years grow into a diary for you to reminisce on the fun you have had.

The other things we tend to keep in tupperware boxes around the house that we can never place our hands on when we need them, the first aid kit! Why not have a look at our stylish storeage boxes, with a traditional theme, these boxes are perfect for knowing exactly what you are short of and where the plasters are when scrapes and accidents happen.

As for your shoes, surely that polish, clothes and brushes deserve a new home? This stylish wooden shoe box is a perfect gift for your dad, husband, brother or grandad. In fact anyone that likes to look after themselves and seems to have everything already! This is a perfect gift that will be appreciated for years to come.

Tip of the Week

Essential Oils Arround The HomeA great way to create your own personal scent around the home is to pop a few drops of your faviourate essential oil onto a cotton wool pad and pop it on top of radiators around the home. When they heat up the smell lifts around the room. Heavenly xxxxPreserving Cream/White Desks & Dressing TablesA perfect way to preserve a nice shabby chic dressing table top for all the make up, nail varnish, purfume spills is to nip down to your local glazers with the surface measurements and get a piece of glass cut and edged (they do this quite easily) and pop it on top, this way you protect the surface. HINT its also a great way to preserve photos, tickets, doodles and bits of at that are precious to you. xxxxCleaning Artificial Flowers

There's nothing worse than dusty flower to give the game away!! so.........A great way to clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper or plastic bag and pop the flowers in. Shake vigorously for a few minutes and the salt will absorb all the dirty and dust and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Then simply shake off the excess salt (I would reccommend doing this outside) and your flowers will look like new xxI'd love to here from you if you have any handy tip's you would like to share.
